Fig. 8. Procollagen N-propeptidase expression in skin. D, dermis; the white
dashed line indicates the line of demarcation of epidermis and dermis.
(A) Co-expression of Col3a1 and Col1a1 in the dermis
of the skin of a 17.5 dpc embryo. Adamts2, but not Adamts14
or Adamts3, mRNA was detected in the dermis. (B)
Adamts2 and Adamts14 mRNA, but not Adamts3 mRNA, is
detectable in the dermis of two-week-old skin. Scale bar: 100 µm.
